This approach is useful if you are not using a CDN to render static content (like js,css and images).
Servers which are used for the application (like Apache or Tomcat) are great for requests which require execution of some code before rendering the page.
There are a bunch of light weight web servers (like lighttpd, varnish and nginx) which are tuned to render static content really fast.
There are a bunch of benchmarking results out there. You will see clear benefits when a page with multiple static objects is rendered with any of these light weight web servers.
